Hi

I am unable to run XWindows for any user accounts. To run XWindows I have to 
log in as root.

Below is the error message ......

Configured drivers:
  S3: accelerated server for S3 graphics adaptors (Patchlevel 0)
      mmio_928, s3_generic

Fatal server error:
xf86OpenConsole: Server must be suid root

TRANS(SocketUNIXConnect) () can't connect: errno = 111
giving up.
xinit:  Connection refused (errno 111):  unable to connect to X server

Thanks in advance ....

Bill.
